If you are looking to buy cologne for someone as a gift, Cool Water is consistently one of the more popular colognes for men on the market. Loved for its freshness and sporty air, Cool Water is for many around the world an all-time favorite, with men everywhere appreciating its crisp scent.

Cool WaterDavidoff, maker of the hit cologne Cool Water, is an international Swiss company specializing in luxury goods like fragrances, watches, wallets, neckties, and more – although for many years the company specialized in tobacco products alone. Davidoff has its origins in the 1930s, when a Russian emigrant Zino Davidoff opened a tobacco shop based in Geneva, Switzerland. The connoisseur’s parents had owned a shop in Kiev, before they were forced to flee persecution at the hands of the Russians. Even though it wasn’t until the latter part of the 20th century that Davidoff began manufacturing fragrances, its venture was met with considerable success.

Cool Water has been manufactured by Davidoff since 1992, and yet with almost 20 years on the market the scent is beloved to this day. Its main components, which some say represents a “fresh new approach to men’s scents,” include a simple blend of lavender, menthe, iris, and musk. The result is an easy-going, subtle, and invigorating scent that is also very masculine.

At StrawberryNET, you can find a variety of Cool Water and other Davidoff colognes, after shave products and gift sets. These items are very affordable and the website offers a terrific selection.

Anna Sui Night of Fancy Perfume

Perfume No Comments »

Anna Sui, part of a younger crop of designers, has created a new fragrance to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the company’s in house production of decorative cosmetics.

Anna Sui Night of Fancy PerfumeEver since her start in the fashion industry in the early 1990s, Sui has been known as a polyglot never afraid of embarking on new ventures. Most recently, the designer had the high honor of being named by Time Magazine as one of the top five fashion figures of the decade.

Sui’s Night of Fancy Perfume is a definitively floral fragrance. It is often described as starting strong with the fruit-filled scent of blueberry and grapefruit leaves mixed with a hint of strawberry, only to give way to Madagascan jasmine and Sambac Jasmine absolute. The so-called base notes of the fragrance include olibanum, Cashmere, and a hint of milkshake. The result? Some would say, complimentarily, a “sophisticated chic” fragrance.

The perfume is sometimes described as a follow-up to Sui’s 2007’s Flight of Fancy. Sui’s latest comes in a purple bottle with a subdued rectangular body that invites close inspection. The lid – topped with an extravagant peacock, also purple, with wide-open feathers – hints at a decidedly romantic and evocative aura.
